I agree, Temo. The quotes look bad in print, but if you see the whole session, including the questions, he is not being the self-promoting, in-denial diva he seems like in the print stories. Some poorly chosen words, yes, but this is not a locker room problem.

Fascinating--his two best years were the two full years in which he was being thrown to by Jon Kitna. Tony Romo better watch his ass, lest he become the Nancy Kerrigan to Williams and Kitna's Harding and Gillooly.

Honestly, I have to say that after watching the Seattle game, Roy had multiple passes thrown his way that were near impossible to catch/were actually throw-aways. He has not been great and in other games has had his share of well-placed drops, but in the Seattle game Romo was missing him while hitting other WRs. I encourage anyone who is able to, to watch the game. I think Roy will improve. I'm not sure what the problem is. Roy is not a terrible receiver. To quote Roy himself "Tony's good, I'm good. Something will get worked out." Roy is no bum and neither is Tony. I'm still thinking that something will get going between them.

Russell IS going to be great, perhaps one of the all-timers - right up there with Ryan Leaf and Todd Marinovich when it comes to all-time quarterback flops.

As for Williams, as an Eagles fan I was jumping up and down and clapping my hands with glee when Jerry Jones gave up two high picks to get him, and he's yet to do a single thing to change that attitude. In addition to his low catch rate, he doesn't go all out on routes on which he's not the primary target and for a big guy, he's a pretty lousy downfield blocker. He's one of those rare talents capable of making the players around him worse. If you ever start an annual "Keep Choppin' Wood All-Stars", he should be a perennial fixture.

The only thing that might save him from Leaf level is the fact that at the time, there was not a lot of top level perceived talent to be taken overall. In hindsight, there are half a dozen players from that draft that could have been taken instead of him (Purple Jesus anyone?), but after the Raiders already had a high draft pick in a RB, the only other possible option was Megatron. Gallery had scared them off Joe Thomas, and there wasn't a huge amount of top end talent.
